Who would be VERY helpful with your question would be Lancaster Archery. They do a lot of olympic/FITA type recurve business and have some really smart customer service folks. They'll be more than happy to help even if you don't buy from them. You can also get a free catalog through their WEB site.

Question is, would it help you, how? Speed? If you had shorts in there that ended up the same lbs at your DL, you might gain a minimal amount of speed , minimal. You are only talking about an inch on each end. IMO I don't think you'll see enough difference to justify it. A different riser more suited to your draw lenth mabey, but not a limb change of 2". A riser that has a flatter limb pocket angle would gain you more speed than a 2" change in limb lenth.
This is based on what I've read on other sites.
I have tossed around going to mediums myself, from longs. In almost every post on this I read where it makes little difference.
There may be a difference going to winnex from wood/glass or wood/carbon. Winnex are said to load early and stay smooth, so you may gain some speed there as the power stroke is right to brace. When I can afford winnexs, I'll advise from personal experience.
